2026 Onomichi Sumiyoshi Fireworks Festival Full-Day Course
A full-day course to enjoy the port town of Onomichi in the Seto Inland Sea, centered on the Onomichi Sumiyoshi Fireworks Festival held on Saturday, July 25, 2026. In the afternoon, enjoy food-on-the-go and strolling through Onomichi Hondon Shopping Street, then take the ropeway up to Senkoiji Park for sweeping views of the Onomichi Channel and Mukaishima Island. In the evening, walk along the waterfront promenade, grab an early dinner, and move to the viewing area near Sumiyoshi Shrine to secure your spot. The approximately 13,000 fireworks beginning at 7:30 PM beautifully reflect off the calm waters of the Onomichi Channel and brightly illuminate Mukaishima Island across the water. A definitive summer plan for Onomichi that lets you experience both the daytime charm of this hillside town and the fireworks illuminating the night sky of the Seto Inland Sea.
